"Entrepreneur Dr. William Chizhovsky founded The Good Plastic Company in 2018 to address the worldwide plastic waste crisis. At the time, he had been experimenting with different waste streams and plastic types—including HDPE-based shampoo bottles, old toys, and trash washed up on Hawaiian beaches. He decided to focus on polystyrene (PS), as this polymer type is available at scale, performs well mechanically (e.g., doesn’t bend), and offers a high level of quality control."

Where it all began

In the mid-1990s, when I’d been working as a residential architect for more than a decade, I had an epiphany one day while driving though the suburbs of Des Moines, Iowa. I had started noticing that new houses were getting extremely large, and decidedly unattractive. For miles and miles, all I could see were these “starter castles” marching across the prairies, looking self-important and soulless.

At that point, I was spending most of my time designing homes that were better, not bigger; homes that fit the way my clients really lived, rather than a formal lifestyle that few people ever lived anymore.
